TAILORS CHARCOAL IRON.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 378,297, dated February 21, 1888. Application filcd May 12, 1887. Serial No. 237360. (No model.)

To all 10700121, it may concern:

Be it known that I, FREDRICK WILLIAM EISENBERG, of Ann Arbor, in the county of \Vashtenaw and State of Michigan, have invented new and useful Improvements in Tailors Charcoal-Irons; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription thereof, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in tailors charcoal-irons.

The invention consistsin the peculiar construction, arrangement, and combination of the various parts, all as more fully hereinafter set forth.

Figure 1 is aside elevation. Fig. 2 is a vertical section on the line :0 a: of Fig. i. Fig. 3 is a crosssection on the busy y of'Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a rear end elevation. Fig. 5is a horizontal section on the line a e of Fig. 2.

I11 the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification, A represents the body of the iron or goose, which is provided I at its toe with a rigid top plate, B, carrying the neck C.

D is the adjustable cover, which consists of the main plate a, from which rise the handlestandards E, and in which is secured the handle F.

b is the supplemental plate of the cover D, which is rigidiy secured upon the plate a, and between the two plates is placed a filling, c, of asbestos or other suitable non-conducting material that will prevent heat radiating from the goose from overheating the handle. This cover is hinged to the rear wall of the body of the iron, and is provided with a slide, G, beneath the handle, such slide being arranged to engage with a proper opening in the foot of the neck 0. (Shown in Fig. 2.)

H is a slatted grate,the front end of which is supported by the inwardly-projecting lugs (I,

while its rear end is provided with a deflecting-plate, I, the upper flanged edge, e, of which rests upon the supports f in the corners of the heel of the iron at each side of the draft-opening, which latter is closed or uncloscd by the draft-doors J.

K is the bottom of the iron, which at the heel is properlyhinged or pivotally secured to the rear wall of the body A, and is provided at its front end or toe with an upwardly-project-ing lug, L,which enters a correspondinglyshaped recess in the toe of the iron. This bottom plate is provided with abeveled flange, h, which fits over, when closed, the beveled lower edge of the body of the iron, as shown in Fig. 3. This makes a tightjoint when the parts are closed together, and prevents ashes from falling out of the iron upon the fabric being operated upon.

M is a securing-pin which passes down through the toe ofthe iron, thelower end ofsuch pin being threaded to engage with a threaded hole in the upperend of the lug L, by means of which the bottom is secured in place.

' In this construction the operator can by releasing the retaining-pin M drop the bottom and allow the ashes that may have accumulated thereon to fall out without disturbing the grate or the fire thereon.

What I clai m as my invention is In a tailors iron, the combination of the body A, rigid top plate, B, neck 0, cover D, handle l lockingslide G, slatted grate H, deflectingplate I, draft-doors J, hinged bottom K, formed at one end with upwardly-projecting lug L, and threaded lockingpin M, the parts being constructed, arranged, and operating substantially in the manner and for the purposes set forth.
